| Summary: | chovy n Years ago in Pigeon Inlet, the last thing a man'd do before he'd go to bed in the nights, was to make sure he had a good supply of chovies all ready to light his fire with next morning'. Grampa says makin' chovies was a skillful piece of business, and a man with a good sharp knife and some dry kindlin' could make 'em right bushy and fancy like. Another thing about chovies. Durin' the bad times, chovies was a great savin' on matches. A man wantin' to light his pipe'd just crack a limb off a chovy and hold it in the front grate of the stove. PRINTED ITEM G.M.
